The last few weeks I’ve spent debating whether or not I should try to come up with another fall cocktail recipe. I mean, is there really another drink that comes close to being as good as last year’s apple cider margaritas?? Seeing how much y’all loved that recipe was everything to me, but it definitely put on some pressure to make sure that any future drinks I share are just as tasty!

Up until last Friday I hadn’t been able to think of any unique autumn-themed drinks that I thought would be worthy of a post. I’m so picky when it comes to cocktails and I didn’t want to make something that you could already easily find on Pinterest. You’re probably rolling your eyes right now thinking, “does chick really think pumpkin spice drinks are groundbreaking?”
Trust me this isn’t what you think! I promise! I’ve made it no secret on Instagram how much I dislike pumpkin spice lattes– the flavor seriously tastes like dirt!!! These drinks may have pumpkin in the them, but the spice is completely different. It’s REAL spice and so so good!
What I love most about this pumpkin margarita recipe is how it perfectly marries sweet and savory flavors all with a hint of heat. It’s also incredible easy to customize based on your own taste preferences!
INGREDIENTS YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE // Pumpkin Pie Spice | Chili Powder | Pumpkin Puree | Lime Juice | Cinnamon Sticks
When it hit me that jalapeño and pumpkin justtttt might be tasty together, I hopped over to Walmart.com as fast as I could to place an order for the ingredients. Walmart.com‘s new Next Day Delivery service is game changer when you need something fast. In my case it was pumpkin puree, cinnamon sticks, lime juice and mason jars!
This rim y’all… If it were up to me, every cocktail would have to be served with a delicious rim! I tested a few different combinations of spices for this drink and nothing compared to the mix of pumpkin pie spice, sugar, salt and chili powder. YUM! PS how cute are these harvest-themed appetizer plates? The perfect size for serving small bites! Or for using as a dish to rim cocktail glasses 😛
Walmart makes it super easy to get all your fall entertaining needs (along with every other necessity under the sun!) as fast as possible. I placed my Walmart Next Day Delivery order on Friday morning and by Saturday afternoon I had everything I needed to create the recipe you’ll find below. I mean, fall passes by in the blink of an eye– better to take advantage of allllll the drinks, foods, and activities when you think of it right? I was shocked that not only did my items get to me so quickly, but that Walmart had every random thing that I needed and it was all eligible for overnight delivery.
To shop Next Day Delivery at Walmart all you have to do is open Walmart.com on your phone (or computer!) There at the top of the website you’ll immediately see the option for Next Day Delivery— turn that switch on and you’re ready to shop! FYI all the ingredients I linked for this drink are Next Day Delivery eligible, so you can start making these as soon as tomorrow!!
Searching for cute inexpensive cocktail glasses? I ordered this pack of 12 mason jars for just $10!
RIM GLASSES. Mix equal parts kosher salt, granulated sugar, chili powder and pumpkin pie spice on a small plate. Wet glass rims and dip in seasoning. I typically just wet glasses with water, but depending on the type you're using a simple syrup or agave sweetener could also work as a sticky rim adhesive. If you don't like heat just skip adding the chili powder! For a similar alternative to pumpkin pie spice you can use cinnamon or cinnamon sugar.
MAKE COCKTAIL. Fill cocktail shaker with ice and add all ingredients. Shake vigorously to combine and strain into rimmed glasses. Can be served with or without additional ice.
OPTIONAL GARNISH. Feel free to garnish with lime wedges, a cinnamon stick or extra jalapeños depending on your taste preference.

A few drink notes and suggested modifications!
SKIP THE SPICY
Not into spicy drinks? Don’t worry. This recipe is just as tasty if you skip the ingredients with heat. To make these spicy-free, simply omit the chipotle powder from the rim seasoning and don’t add jalapeños in your shaker.
FOR A MORE SMOKEY & HEARTY FLAVOR
Swap out the tequila and instead use mezcal!
NON-ALCOHOLIC VERSION
To make this non-alcoholic for kiddos or mamas-to-be, you just have to nix the tequila and cointreau and up the quantities of lime juice and apple cider. Now you’ve got yourself an easy and delicious harvest punch!
Big thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post!
